First of all, I tried posting this on halfchan (inb4 "cuckchan gtfo"), but I didn't get any satisfactory answers.
I am not all too new to lifting. I tried lifting in my teens, but I never got too much results; I grew stronger, but I didn't gain weight - this was in part to the fact that I thought you could lift, drink a protein shake and it would sort itself out.
I started lifting and eating properly much later, when I started in a new job and one of my co-workers was a semi-pro bodybuilder. I told him that I had tried working out in my teens w/o results and he told me that I simply wasn't eating enough, so he helped me out with calories and pointed out the 5x5 routine. That's when I started seeing results; I gained approx. 20 kgs. in two months (a lot of water, but I didn't mind because I've always been skinny and didn't get "fat").
Now, I would like you fine lads to rate my diet:
>Breakfast:
2 slices of extra coarse bread (75-100%) with 4 slices of boiled ham and 2 slices of low-fat cheese
2 eggs
1 glass of non-concentrated orange juice
>Snack:
100g of rice cakes
1 shake, which contains: 25g. iso-whey, 100g. rolled oats and 1 glass of semi-skimmed milk
>Lunch:
Salad, which consists of: 150g. iceberg lettuce, 20g. walnuts, 20g. tomatoes and 15g. of Udo's Choice as seasoning
>Snack 2:
1 shake, which contains: 25g. iso-whey, 100g. rolled oats and 1 glass of water
1 carrot
>Dinner:
Depends, but usually 100g. of chicken breast (simmered in ca. 10g. of butter) and 160g. of rice)
1 shake, which contains: 35g. Real Food (Rich Piana brand)
>During/after workout:
100g. rice cakes
1 shake: 50g. hydrowhey (w/water)
>Before bedtime:
1 shake: 50g. casein, 100g. rolled oats and 1 glass semi-skimmed milk
1 banana
Total (excluding dinner): 3700 kcal of which 21% fat (86g.), 53% carbs (520g.), 26% proteins (235g.) and 55g. of fibres.
I also need some help with developing my calves and I have a problem with my shoulder (it feels as if a tendon slides over something when I do shoulder presses) so I could use some help finding an alternative exercise.
Is skipping rope good for adding mass to the calves?
